Tuesday's Sound Off

To the person concerned about Obama’s trip to Hawaii, Obama will do what he wants. He doesn’t care now, he’s in for four more years. He isn’t interested in what we think. Regarding the budget, it takes two to tango and to the same tune. Let’s see if it works in Washington. Ha ha.

To all the people who keep doing the right thing and being polite, being nice and working hard, keep at it. You keep the rest of us that are like you going too. To all these other “me” people, you know, the people who gotta run the red light or can’t let you out in traffic or park their car sideways and take three spots in a parking lot or the person who can’t return their cart to the cart return, what about me?

During this rainy spell I see many people violating the law. If someone blinks their lights at you, did it ever dawn on you to turn on your lights when you have your wipers on? It’s the law - wipers on, lights on also.

Let’s not be too quick to unfairly judge our congressmen. There was a comment in Sound Off about Congress diligently working to remove the word lunatic from the English language. Well, perhaps they did it so it could not in the future be used against them.

Big labor is sending their message. Gov. Corbett and Gov. Christie and the rest of the cowardly legislators are getting the word. The unions control politics in this state and the unions will not tolerate any talk of right to work. So we in Pennsylvania will continue to suffer the tyranny of the union leaders.

If the lottery ever goes to a foreign company, I will never ever buy another lottery ticket in the U.S. again.

SGT. ED

We went to the Winter Festival at the Pottsgrove High School for the Toys for Tots and it was wonderful. All the students were friendly and my nephew had a great time. Thank you.

I’d like to know when the police are going to start doing their job and fining people for doing over 40 mph in the construction zone on 422 at the Sanatoga interchange. People who obey the speed limit of 40 mph are getting all kinds of gestures, horns blown at them and tailgating when you’re trying to do the right thing. If they fined these people, Lower Pottsgrove and Limerick wouldn’t have to pay taxes for the next year or two.

IT’S TIME IT GETS CORRECTED

The Pennsylvania lottery is not broken so it doesn’t need fixing by giving the administration to a sole bond bidder for a 20-year contract costing 200 jobs for Pennsylvanians. One must ask what’s the connection between the foreign company and Gov. Corbett.

To all the Republicans, when they were in majority through the Bush administration, they took out of the Social Security fund $2 trillion and they’re still trying to take more out of Social Security and trying to get rid of Medicare and Medicaid. I’m a senior citizen and I’m asking the president to stand fast and not touch the entitlements because the seniors deserve what they’re getting and some of us that’s all we have to live on.

This is my theory on Obamacare. There is no way in heaven that they can make people buy insurance, however, they can punish those without insurance. I really feel this is a scheme by the government that they will take away people’s federal income tax refunds that they now get if they don’t have insurance. Imagine the money that they will no longer have to mail out for tax refunds, and this is just the beginning.

Thank you to all who have gone to the effort and expense to put up seasonal lights and displays for all to enjoy. They’re beautiful.

A SENIOR

Tom Quigley who was recently named chairman of the committee to abolish property taxes sadly lost the last election. You Democrats who voted a straight ticket are responsible. He contributed so much for so many. It’s now a lost cause. Wishing you the best Tom. Thank you.
